Vines are a very particular form of meme creation. The video quality is intentionally bad, they're at most only six seconds long, and they loop indefinitely. A good Vine revels in the details of a larger story. The best ones reveal new treasures and details with every loop.

As soon as it was announced that Vine was over, people started tweeting and sharing their favorite Vines. So in honor of the social media platform, we've compiled some of the best Vines ever created.

Duck Army is an example of a perfect Vine: unexpected, hilarious, and so, so watchable.

But not all of the best Vines are funny. The most important Vine in history was posted nearly a year ago and was the first video of last year's Paris attack when a bomb can be heard during a soccer match.

But most Vines try to be funny and because they're often so short, the best ones tend to pack a lot of different emotions into six seconds.

But the greatest Vine of all, in my opinion, is "back at it again at Krispy Kreme." It is infinitely textured. And it evokes many mysteries about its context. It gets better every time you watch it.
